What Is This Tool?
This tool facilitates the conversion of volumetric flow rates from cubic centimeters per hour, a unit often used in low flow scenarios, to barrel (US) per day, a standard unit in the petroleum industry. It supports various applications from medical device settings to oil production reporting.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic centimeter/hour
-
Select the input unit as cubic centimeter/hour
-
Choose the output unit as barrel (US)/day [bbl (US)/d]
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in barrels per day
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from cubic centimeter/hour to barrel (US)/day accurately
-
Supports use in industries ranging from medical pumps to petroleum production
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output
-
Enables comparison of microflow rates and large-scale industrial volumes
Examples
-
10 cubic centimeters/hour equals 0.001509555 barrel (US)/day
-
1000 cubic centimeters/hour equals 0.1509555 barrel (US)/day
Common Use Cases
-
Setting very low infusion rates in medical pumps and drug microdosing
-
Measuring precision flows in microfluidic experiments and syringe pumps
-
Reporting and managing crude oil production rates for wells and fields
-
Specifying pipeline and tanker throughput in the oil transportation sector
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection to avoid conversion errors
-
Use the tool to bridge very different volumetric scales effectively
-
Verify low flow measurements with suitable equipment for accuracy
-
Consider environmental factors affecting the precision of measurements
Limitations
-
Conversions may involve very small or large numbers due to scale differences
-
Instrument sensitivity and environment can affect low flow measurement accuracy
-
Conversion is only meaningful when comparing microflows to large industrial flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter of fluid passing per hour, used for very low and steady flow rates.
-
Why use barrel (US) per day as a unit?
-
Barrel (US) per day is the standard measure in the petroleum sector to quantify production, transport, and processing volumes on a large scale.
-
Can this tool convert low microflow rates to industrial scale?
-
Yes, it translates very low flow rates into the common industrial flow rate unit used in oil production for meaningful comparison.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter/Hour
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter per hour, used often for very low and precise flows.
-
Barrel (US)/Day
-
A volumetric flow unit indicating the number of US oil barrels (42 US gallons each) passing a point per day, standard in petroleum industry.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time.
